*cowyo* is a self-contained wiki server that makes jotting notes easy and _fast_. The most important feature here is _simplicity_. Other features include versioning, page locking, self-destructing messages, encryption, and listifying. You can [download *cowyo* as a single executable](https://github.com/schollz/cowyo/releases/latest) or install it with Go.

Getting Started
===============

## Install

If you have go

```
go get github.com/schollz/cowyo
```

or just download from the [latest releases](https://github.com/schollz/cowyo/releases/latest).

## Run

To run just double click or from the command line:

```
cowyo
```

## Usage

*cowyo* is straightforward to use. Here are some of the basic features:

### Editing

When you open a document you'll be directed to an alliterative animal (which is supposed to be easy to remember). You can write in Markdown. Saving is performed as soon as you stop writing.
